GeneXpert

GeneXpert is a rapid diagnostic technology that detects specific genetic material of bacteria or viruses in a sample, such as sputum or blood. It uses a small machine that automates the process, quickly identifying infections like tuberculosis or COVID-19 within about an hour. The system amplifies the genetic material if present, providing accurate results that help guide timely treatment. Its ease of use and speed make it valuable in both clinical settings and resource-limited areas, improving diagnosis accuracy and reducing delays in patient care.
